If you’re brand new to Framer, the canvas can feel like a blank universe. This 101 guide covers the core concepts you need to start building without getting lost.

Pages and Frames

At the top level you’ll work with pages. Each page contains frames—sections, layouts, and components that make up your design.

Stacks and Layout

Stacks help you:

  • Align content horizontally or vertically.

  • Set consistent spacing between elements.

  • Create layouts that adapt when the screen size changes.

Text, Images, and Components

Framer gives you simple building blocks:

  • Text for headlines, body copy, and labels.

  • Image and video layers for media.

  • Components for reusable buttons, cards, sections, and more.

Preview and Publish

At any time you can preview your page as a live prototype, test interactions, and eventually publish to a production-ready site with a custom domain.

Conclusion

Framer Canvas 101 is about comfort with the basics: frames, stacks, components, and preview. Once those feel natural, you can layer in CMS, code components, and more advanced patterns at your own pace.

Your request is on its way - we'll get back to you in the next hours.

Insights

Insights

What services do you offer exactly?

Allsite designs and builds high-end, production-ready websites - from strategy and design direction to Framer development and launch. The website is treated as a core business asset: product narrative, trust layer, and conversion surface in one.

Do you also do brand work?

Yes - brand work as it relates to the website. This includes visual identity refinement, design systems, typography, color, layout logic, and tone. Allsite does not position itself as a full-service branding agency - focus beats breadth.

Why Framer over Webflow?

Framer enables faster iteration, cleaner handover, and a more modern editing experience - especially for content-driven, design-forward teams. For complex, CMS-heavy, or AI-native products, Framer offers a better balance of flexibility and maintainability.

Do we need finished designs or a Figma file to start?

No. Projects can start from anything - from rough ideas to existing designs. If a Figma file exists, great. If not, design direction and structure are part of the process.

How do projects usually start and how long do they take?

Projects typically start with a short design & strategy phase, followed by design, build, and launch. Most projects take 3–6 weeks, depending on scope and feedback speed.

How do we get in touch and what should we send?

Send a short message with: What you’re building Why now A rough scope or goal That’s enough to start the conversation.
